HiEd!

Thanks for sharing this.

I think this should be very welcome.

I'm on a hunt for live coverage of the big launch this morning, but it would
certainly be wonderful to think that I might enjoy some DVS availability the
next time I can visit.

Cheers,
Dave

Ed-

Good morning. I hope you and Karen are doing well. I just received an
announcement from the Federal Registry; they are proposing to expand video
description regulations. They are currently seeking comments on the proposal
so I thought I would pass it on for you to share with others this proposal
would impact. The link for the information is below.
Stay safe and healthy!
